THE JAPAN RACING ASSOCIATION TROPHY (HANDICAP) 1000m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Cracking tempo with Colourful Prince and Sunny Galaxy leading the way. PLENTIFUL (8) couldn't bring up the hat-trick last start when favourite over this track and trip, beaten 1.5L. He draws nicely again today along the inside and Poon rides fresh off a G2 win on Sunday. Should get a lovely run and can bounce back to winning ways. CRYSTAL POWERFUL (11) sat close to the speed last start and got the job done here 21 days ago in a return to form. Atzeni remains in the saddle and this sets up similarly to last start. Back up in grade now but he drops 6kgs and he can go back-to-back. COUNTRY DANCER (10) is racing in good order lately, sprinting well from well back to be 0.8L off the winner from a mile back on straightening. Likely to get back again, but should be coming home with a wet sail. COLOURFUL PRINCE (1) comes into this fresh and will be fitter for a couple trials. Can play a role from the front.
